Mix the brandy, triple sec, and powdered sugar in advance, then add carbonated water and ice just before serving to maintain carbonation.
Five Star Brandy or similar mid-range brandies work well; avoid premium cognacs as they're wasted in mixed drinks.
Champagne or sparkling wine can replace carbonated water for a richer drink, though it changes the recipe's character.
Serve over ice in a wine glass or punch cup; garnish with fresh fruit like citrus slices or berries if desired.
